City University London Builds High-Performance, Low-Cost, Scalable Infrastructure With One-Stop Support
Overview The City University London wanted to build an infrastructure capable of scaling to provide 24/7 access for thousands of simultaneous users to CitySpace, City's online learning solution and most business-critical application. The challenge was to improve user response times and significantly reduce risk of downtime while lowering technology cost of ownership. The University tested migration of CitySpace to Oracle Database with Real Application Clusters-based grid computing environment, finding it capable of scaling for a 100% increase in traffic during peak exam periods without loss of performance. It also set to cut hardware costs by 50% and eliminate single points of failure by switching from single big box instance to a cluster of five low-cost servers acting as a virtual computing resource.
